Why this story? The whole channel is running at 4,088,956 views a day, 12 times a normal day (342,557).

Yes Theory's tip from a stranger in a Paris bar has become a widely watched Alaska adventure. "50 hours in a Secret Russian town in America" has passed five million views since its October 18 release, adding a new chapter to the trip we reported here.

The channel as a whole drew about four million views in a day. That is a sharp departure from its usual pace, even with a substantial audience already following its travels.

The destination fits a distinctive thread in Yes Theory's recent work: finding unfamiliar places within America. Its Appalachia film and "Why is this piece of America still owned by France?" also build their invitations around places viewers might not expect to find on an American itinerary. The Russian-town title offers another geographical double take.

Away from those journeys, the team has also unveiled a book it says took eighteen months to make, bringing its comfort-zone philosophy into a different format.
